Answer:

Graphite is a form of carbon that is most commonly found in pencils, although because it is a good conductor of electricity, it's also used in electrodes and batteries. ... The word graphite comes from the German Graphit, which was named by a mineralogist in 1789 from the Greek word graphein, "write."
